Question

Find y so that (-2, y) is a solution to 3x + 5y=8​

Answer 1

Answer:

y = $\frac{14}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = - 2 into the equation and solve for y

3(- 2) + 5y = 8, that is

- 6 + 5y = 8 ( add 6 to both sides )

5y = 14 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = $\frac{14}{5}$
